Uphill Rush 13

Five minutes into Uphill Rush 13 and you've already swapped a tube for a jet ski, launched off a loop, and unlocked a new skin without even meaning to. That's the pace of the thirteenth game in the series, now set entirely in a water park.

You pick your ride - tubes, surfboards, jet skis - and point it at whatever obstacle stands between you and the finish. Loops and long jumps look like trouble, but they're actually where the good stuff happens: tilt through them right and you pull off stunts that earn bonuses and make your run look ridiculous in the best way.

Power-ups and skins unlock as you clear obstacles, so every run gives you a reason to push for one more jump. If you already like water games or anything built around speed, this slots right in, and it plays free in the browser with no download.

Want a different flavor of downhill chaos first? Deadly Descent swaps water park loops for hammers and spiked crushers on a mountain road.

Race through the water park, clearing loops and long jumps while keeping your tube, surfboard or jet ski upright and moving forward.

Use the arrow keys: Up moves your vehicle forward, while Left and Right tilt it in the air so you can rotate into stunts during jumps.

Don't dodge the loops and long jumps - lean into them. Landing a clean stunt on the way through earns bonuses and unlocks new power-ups and skins, so the riskier obstacles are actually your fastest route to upgrades.
